The inspiration for Abby’s latest jewellery range comes her childhood growing up in the picturesque surroundings of Summerseat, Bury. The countryside abode provided the array of brightly coloured flowers she loves, the clear night skies exploded with stars of all kinds and even the rusty old farm machinery and chains sparked ideas of something new and bold. Fused with her natural affinity for the 1960s psychedelic designs, she soon gave life to her those impatiently sketched drawings.

Since graduating from the Manchester Metropolitan University in July 2006, Abby has continued to pursue her love of Jewellery design, and now jointly owns a jewellery gallery in Chorlton, Manchester called Franny & Filer. Abby also produces and distributes her range of hand made jewellery across the UK.
